All I can say is… fucking impressive…

Now go do some concentric-only front squats against bands, old man.[/quote]
Ouch, right to the quick.
Will do and I will post some OUTRAGEOUS FUGGIN VIDEOS that will make everyone feel worthless and weak.
(BTW, how the hell do I do a concentric only front squat against bands…just asking. Wanna make sure I get it right.)[/quote]
Hahaha!

That’s truly amazing.
It needs to be pointed out that the contest was decided by less than 1 Wilks point and Dan Williams went 340 at only 82.5 kilograms.
Both were tremendous performances.
To the poster who said, “he has a great future as long as his other 2 lifts come up,” you need to google the kid and check out his full meet performance.
His other lifts are “coming along” just fine.[/quote]
Thanks, I must not know anything about him, since I was also the one who pointed out that he Gene Bell’s son…
He squatted 663 and benched 342 at last year’s Men’s Nationals. I think deadlift is very clearly best lift, but his squat is definitely respectable. His bench isn’t anything to write home about.

Please tell me this is in multi-ply gear so I can not commit suicide.[/quote]
I’m pretty sure Ian is 19 if that saves someone from slitting their wrists.
Hung out with the kid at Men’s Nationals last summer, very polite kid, and I didn’t realize how strong he was until I saw him squatting 550 and yawning afterwards during warm ups.

From my perspective he could have barely posted a first total of 1000#'s at HW and I would state at least he took it to the platform. That’s part of the the PL brotherhood.
I think we lose sight of the real issue here (hence my sarcastic post above) which is he is posting some profoundly stupid things with an amazing combination of lacking in historical perspective and failing to recognize one of the most consistently dominant powerlifters in the history of the sport.
Maybe it’s just me but I kind of expect young, upcoming lifters to be a student of the sport and at least have some perspective/knowledge of what they speak.
Like I said, “better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it.”[/quote]
Word. I was just talking to Josh Bryant about this. He’s thirty but a great student of the past greats and their accomplishments.
I like this guy. I will definitely continue to follow him. This got me very motivated for attempt at 500.

No shit geez.
The lift was freakin amazing!!
fuck.
I hate this kid!!! That’s just ridiculous. It just goes to show, no matter how much of a badass you think you are…there’s always someone badder. At the end of the day it’s a good reminder that we can only do our best to live up to our OWN potential.
